My guess is Graveman YES. Both he and Zito had great springs, but just don't see Zito making the roster. I think the A's might have some interest in using him in LR and spot starts, but just a hunch that Zito wouldn't be down for that, probably figures with the good spring that he can land somewhere as a #5.

Well done by Beanius do rely Brittle Crisp, out 6-8 weeks...hopefully this means Burns gets a good look.

The more I see your guys team the more I like it

Semien, Davis, Lawrie, Zobrist all studs

Kazmir, Gray, and Graveman, legit bullpen

I think you guys will be competitive for sure.

For me it's cautious optimism mixed with a lot of lingering bitterness from everything that went down last season from July 31st on.

I'm still expecting the playoffs. Call me an optimist.

Its a bit overconfident to suggest that the A's could trade THAT many all-star caliber players away for prospects, and still make the playoffs...
